Hello xda forums, I joined the ranks of the rooted Thunderbolt users last night and choose gingeritis 1.0 as my first ROM. So Far I love it but have 2 issues that are somewhat annoying.
1.) The vibrate on keystroke in the keyboard will not turn Off, It is unchecked in settings but still vibrates when I type.
2.) I am using the Weather live wallpaper and whenever I unlock my phone it plays a sound even with the sound on weather disabled.
thanks!

you may be able to post to the gingeritis dev thread as you have more posts then me!
fix all issues
i had this problem and a charging problem and well quite a few others nothing to extreme but i decided i was going to find out why, i had originally flashed this rom at the same time as the radio so i backed up and reflashed the rom that fixed all my issues completely.
I Flashed and it seemed to help the audio issue, untill I set the lockscreen to weather and the sound returned, it appears to be the lockscreen with the issue of playing the sound.
For the weather sounds there is an option under the weather settings to disable it, and as for weather animations you have to remove the clock widget and re-add it, it will then ask you if you want to enable the weather animation or not. If the setting for sounds isn't working, try turning it on and off again. I'm not sure if this will help, but I got mine to successfully go away.
Had the same problems on Gingeritis but it's working fine now

It appears the weather sound is coming from using the weather lock screen, any other lock screen does not play the weather sound. I have enabled and disabled the sound frequently without luck, but it only plays the sound if the weather lockscreen is used.

Awesome. I'll give you a thanks when I get to my computer.
also just a side note ive seen many people flash this rom and the mr2 radio at the same time and not have the white behind the text on notifications making them very hard to read. hope this helps a simple reflash fixes it all
Well it seems the weather sound is back even when not unlocking, it appears to be appearing when the weather background updates...

I don't know if it is just the Sprint Hero, but the big clock widget that has the weather does not update the time. I am using DC 2.05 and have had the same problem running the stock ROM as well.
I have the transparent 2.1 flan style lockscreen so I can see the homescreen without having to unlock the phone, and unfortunetly their are 3 clocks, the lockscreen one, the one in the upper right and the HTC clock widget is in the middle and always off.
I will give an example (It is not because of the 2.1 lockscreen either, I and many others have had this problem who are using the HTC lock screen)
If i turn my phone on at 6:00 and send a text, and then turn it off,
Then check an email at 6:20, when I turn my phone on I see the transparent lockscreen so I can see the lockscreen time, and the upper right time is 6:20, but the HTC clock widget is at 6:00, becasue that is the last time I turned my phone on. Then after 2-3 seconds after I unlock my phone, the HTC clock will update to 6:20.
I know this seems reiculous but the widget takes up half of the home screen and doesn't even work right.
I have never developed an app or anything, but think I know the problem
I used Beautiful widgets and the main clock that shows the time and the weather always had the right time.
The problem must be that the HTC clock does not have access to, or is not getting the time from the system when the device is off, but rather when the phone is on, it updates it. The beautiful widgets app is, and the minute will change the same time the clock in the upper right does. However, with the HTC clock, when I am on my home screen sometimes it takes 5-6 seconds to change, even when the phone is on. So if my phone was on at 6:00 and I went on the internet for 5 minutes and click home, the HTC clock would stay on 6:00 lag for 5-6 seconds and then change to 6:05. It defeats the purpose of having a big clock..
I have searched and cannot find a fix for this, also I have had this problem when running the stock rom, and have had 2 heros, both having the problem,
any ideas, or way to fix the widget to get system time access?
hum. ive never had a problem with the stock htc clock like that. and ive ran pretty much all the roms out there.. currently on fresh 2.0d...

What he is saying is the Weather and Clock widget under the Htc Clock widget does not update the time unless you are on the home page. You put your phone to sleep, you open an app, make a call, etc and once you go back to the home screen it takes a couple of seconds to update it. Yeah, I have this issue to.
I think the reason that it doesn't update until you are on that particular home screen is to save battery life. Anything constantly checking something will reduce battery time. Might not be alot, but I think that is why.

The widgets don't update while the phone is asleep to conserve battery (as was just mentioned). You only see this behavior because you have a modified lockscreen that makes it transparent. That's not how it is was designed by HTC. The extra few seconds to unlock the phone and actually see your home screen would be the delay it usually needs to update the clock.
That or HTC could make all of their widgets continue to use cpu cycles when you aren't looking at them.
any1 using this locker? i got some Q..
y i cant chnage wallpaper on my lock screen.
n y no weather info on my lockscreen?
is there a way to remove our x10 default locker?
I really don't understand all of your writing, but anyway:
I used goto several weeks but replaced it by the latest lockbot pro.
I doubt you can delete the original lock screen, as it is used for more running apps on your phone. I read somewhere if you delete the lock screen and reboot you can t enter your pin anymore, as this is the same lock you see.
Goto and lockbot both over write the original lock screen after one time showing the original once. It is in both apps an option which you can check.
In the latest goto you can change background, but not directly from the lock screen. They made a separate app, goto setup I believe its called. You can find it in your program list. There you can change background and select apps for your shortcut.
Hope this will help you.

ya i changed my background under the goto settings.. but still my desired wallpaper is not appearing.

I have the same problem. But it is only in 1.15 version. On v. 1.12 it was OK, until they didnt separate app and settings.
i had the same problem just try un-installing the app and re-install i still can't get the weather to work but i can confirm that the wallpaper works
well, I have to come back at my statement. I just tested now for over a day goto 1.31 and it is still working very well....of course I write this to early but i did not see the original lockscreen anymore but the only thing is your notificationbar can't sroll down anymore after a while. No idea what is the cause of that as it works in the beginning. For me no problem as I don't use it anyway...but keep that in mind when you test it...
1.31 is quicker with unlocking and quicker with opening your shortcuts which you can put in in "goto settings" (different app in your drawer)
Also changing background went well, they finally made it you can resize your wallpaper on your phone so you can just use any picture on your sd card as long it is bigger than 480x854 for great resolution. I have to admit I used google to get it on my phone. I will buy it if it works for over a week. With lockscreens I just want to test it first before purchase as so far nothing worked on the x10 without problems.
Hopefully this one does. So far so good....
Here a screenshot:
Cheers,
Arnold
wallpaper
I am trying whole day with pics of any resolution and no succes. Help.
i tested some older version before but deinstalled it because i had the feeling it drained battery real fast ...
I've got 1.33, can't really change wallpapers, lock wise its doing a gud job so far.. gonna work on it later!!

Even though i taught I never use the notification bar, it s rather annoying you can't drag it down. My bar is now full of installed signs from updated apps from the market and I can't erase them because of goto... Really shame as lock wise it worked perfect. How is it with version 1.33? does your notification bar keeps working for over an hour?? It stated in the changelog they solved it, but they said that before...
Also it is impossible to get your phone out of airplane mode! so I delete it now and wait for a lock screen app which will work fully on our phone...
@Mobzter: I send you a pm

Notification bar seems to be working fine here.. so far
As for airplane mode.. I think I understand what ya getting at.. my temp solution is using power button to turn screen of that way you can turn plane mode off after you unlock.. although need to do both swipes this way!
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
thanks, I am dying to test it
Edit: found it with google!, will test it now!
Edit2:
Notification bar seems to be working. I am curious if it still works tomorrow. V1.31 stopped working after a few hours...
Background change is going well as well (use the program Goto Settings from your launcher to set a different background)
Will test it for a few days and report again. There must be a lock screen replacement out there working for our phone without trouble!
Edit3: after lots of tests I can confirm the notification bar issue is solved, version 1.33 works good on my x10!
Cheers,
Arnold
I have v1.33 as well. I love how you can prevent the volume and camera keys from waking the phone! That was my biggest issue with these lock replacements. You can also disable the home key from "skipping" the lockscreen. Weather isn't showing and haven't tried changing wallpapers yet. For me, the lockscreen is quite quick, and I haven't seen the original lockscreen yet. I haven't noticed any battery drain, so looks like the phone is sleeping properly. Looks like GOTO is getting it right!
My weather is working, I also do believe they have it right this time...indeed a relieve you can disable the volume and camera keys to unlock...

You have an extra app in your launcher called: GOTO SETTINGS
There you can change wallpaper, set your shortcuts, enter your name and lock the volume and camera button for waking up.

Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.
I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.
I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.
Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday
It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...
The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.
I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.
Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.

I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).
Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.
I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands
The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.
I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?
Hey guys, I've got a problem, and I'd ask it in the dev thread for this ROM, but seeing as I'm just a newb, I'm not allowed to post there. I've done some light searching around the forum and haven't found an answer, but if I happened to miss it, please forgive me for my newbishness.
Let me preface this by saying hot dang, I am SO glad that I flashed my Skyrocket with SKY-ICS. I've been running stock for half a year and after tasting SKY-ICS, I'll NEVER go back. I've seen that Seanz has worked up a great reputation with this SKY-ICS and now I can see why!
Anyways, my problem is that whenever I'm running PowerAmp and I put my screen to sleep, it stops playing music. When I turn my screen back on, I can quickly see up top that PowerAmp just gets activated again, like putting my phone to sleep caused it to terminate the application. I'm guessing this could be a design in the actual SKY-ICS, as in maybe it forces my phone into deep sleep when I press the power button? The only thing that confuses me on that is that Spotify will run perfectly even when my phone is "asleep."
Is anyone else having this problem? Or at least does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help guys!

Not sure. I'm running aokp and have no problems with poweramp. Maybe it's rom-related, i'm not too sure. I'll poke around and see if I can think of anything else.
Edit: Wondering if it's maybe due to whatever was stripped from the rom itself. Have you tried the regular safe base? If not, maybe you should make a nandroid and give it a shot if you're willing.

I may give that a shot whenever I get a little bit of time this weekend. I kind of figured it would be something that was stripped or something, but I couldn't ask it in the dev thread. Upon some more in-depth searching in the official thread (I discovered this handy search bar labeled "Search Thread"! Who knew?) I was able to come across a temporary solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28593163&postcount=114
But like I said, I'll probably troubleshoot it by trying out the other flavor, but this is a temporary solution that oughta work... If I find anything else out, I'll be sure to update this thread. Thanks for your willingness to help out a newb, btm fdr!
I just tested this and have the same problem. It's always worked on past SKY ICS Roms. This will be a HUGE inconvenience for me since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle. As soon as the screen goes off, PowerAmp stops playing.
I'll post it in the "SKY ICS AT&T Official" thread.
It's running fine for me on the dragon. Wakelock is unchecked.

This is a major inconvenience since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle.
I haven't experienced this issue on previous SKY ICS. It worked perfectly on the "SKY ICS Rogers official release". All PowerAmp settings are the same from previous ROM versions (restored from Titanium Backup)

I uninstalled/reinstalled PowerAmp, left the default settings, and it resolved the problem.
I went through each setting individually and confirmed that if I check:
Settings > Lock Screen > Enable Lock Screen
If that is checked, it breaks. If that is unchecked PowerAmp plays while screen is off.
This is a new "issue" on this Rom.
I also don't have the lock screen power amp controls. *shrug* I can live without that.
Thanks for posting the issue in the official thread. I agree, I can do without the controls if I must (as I only discovered them a few weeks ago,) but they really are handy to have. I'll keep an eye on the official thread for answers too.
The process is probably being turned off in setting on power amp theres a box to keep service on when screen is shut off,SKY ICS is a very awsome ROM though I was on it for some time

I tried turning that "keep service on" on/off eariler today while troubleshooting. That had no affect. Like I previously posted, the setting that "breaks" it is the "Enable Lock Screen" in the PowerAmp Lock Screen Settings.
I also tested it with different lock screens (AOSP, Stock TW Launcher Lock Screen, etc...)
This wasn't an issue on the "Rogers" (AT&T Safe) release. This just started happening since I flashed tot he new "AT&T Official" release. I've been using SKY Roms on the SkyRocket since December, and this is the first time it's had this symptom.
I too have only had the problem when setting the poweramp lockscreen not the ics lockscreen that is the only way i can change my music on lock. If i hit enable poweramp lockscreen i get a fc. I havent had the problem of music stopping when i lock my screen, then again i bought my poweramp on the offical site and thats where you can download both the app and the key. So maybe download the app from the site? Has anyone had a probelm with the playlists? I would make a playlist and have like 60 or so songs and every now and then they disappear? Sometimes it just goes to 0 songs but the playlist is still there. I export/import my playlists now to another location but i havent had the time to explore this situation.

I emailed Huawei Tech Support yesterday regarding this issue. I was prompted to call in to tech support for further assistance, and told by a service rep that this is a known software issue. Along with led notification light also, she then created a ticket for me... I asked her if there would be an update correcting the issue soon? She placed me on a brief hold then returned stating that; "eta should be about mid March!" ?
I refused to trouble shoot with her due to the phone surprisingly deciding to display notifications and notification light by itself!
After pressing lock button and viewing lockscreen again, NOTHING BUT DATE & TIME.... It's been intermittent ever since, although play music seems to efficiently control lock screen with image and track controls every time!

Yes throughout the day I will see them, but they're inconsistent, and intermittent! For example just listening to a music app during one record I can power on screen... see title and artist...

Definitely confirmed. I am using magazine unlock and constantly get lock screen notifications. Also yes to media controls for casting, music play etc. Huawei should make it clear in manual that only way to get lock screen notifications it to use magazine unlock.
Now go rebuy the Mate 9. It's an excellent phone

Thanks as well and... Yes Sir! ?
Guys, sorry to rehash this issue, but has anyone figured out how to ALWAYS display the notifications in the notifications tray to the lockscreen? I bought the phone again, but I'm not seeing the notifications mirrored in the unlocked phone's notification trade... Like EVERY other Android phone. Let me explain:
I get a WhatsApp message, it will show up on the lockscreen. Say I then unlock the phone, don't do ANYTHING to the WhatsApp notification. The phone locks again and this time... No notification on the lock screen, despite me not acknowledging it!
Has anyone been able to solve for me? Perhaps a other lock screen app you use maybe?
Thank you! This phone is so perfect, the software is slightly off though, but maybe you guys have this solution! ?
Same thing here, I think all you can do is wait for an update, but don't get your hopes up ...

Thank you for the input, friend. All these updates since launch, can't believe they haven't fixed something that is native across all other Android phones... I wonder if their other phones with EMUI do the same thing? Can anyone confirm?
If there really are no other options... Can you guys recommend alternative lock screen apps you may be using? I tried Flotify, but the stupid thing didn't display the Music player or YouTube casting controls on the lockscreen and the quick reply was weak... ?
Thank you!

It displays Spotify controls anyway, although a bit too big :/
Sad thing about Floatify is that the timeout of your screen is always set to 30 seconds, regardless of what you set it to in Settings - display. Until you pay for pro... Then you can change it.
I did however notice that Spotify functions without Floatify now. I'm on c432B185. I wonder if Huawei fixed it. A lot of other notifications that wouldn't display on lockscreen before works as well.

Yes Sir - YouTube casting, TuneIn Radio also work without the Flotify lockscreen, however, other notifications I have tested, Google, WhatsApp, Textra, etc... show up once, you unlock the phone, not check the notifications, come back, and it's no longer there !
I cannot believe this does not bother anyone else, other than you and I, it seems !

OH yeah. Just did notice Textra only displays once. It could be some kind of "security". :/
